SERVING EAST TENNESSEE

Greeneville, Newport, Dandridge & Johnson City
Family-Owned & Local Since 1999

Three Generations of Building, One Family Business Since 1999

Rooted in Greeneville and Building Across East Tennessee

At Hite Construction Company, founded in 1999 by Jamey Hite, our goal is to craft your custom dream home through a process you can trust. The family carries three generations of building experience in East Tennessee: Jamey's father and grandfather both worked construction before him, instilling the same standard that shows up on every job today.

We build custom homes and lakefront properties in Greeneville, Newport, Dandridge, and Johnson City, along with major remodels and commercial construction. Every project gets the same crew, the same standards, and the Hite name behind it.

Building on Douglas Lake and Beyond

A lakefront property comes with questions a standard lot doesn't: elevation, water access, sightlines, how the home sits on the property. We've built on Douglas Lake and know how to plan around a shoreline instead of fighting it.

We build custom and lakefront homes on Douglas Lake and in the Dandridge area, alongside our core work in Greeneville, Newport, and Johnson City.
